generation of gaming platform that combines an unlimited number of live and automated games, together with a progressive jackpot system, tournament modes and much more.

brand new Big Bang wheel, multi-terminal Black Jack solution, VIP chair and much more. We can positively say that Alfastreet turned a
new page at the G2E and the excitement level is at the maximum. The company also recently completed construction of a new manufacturing facility that will effectively double the production capacity of the company. With distinct progress in key markets like US,
Asia and Europe, and even Africa catching up, Alfastreet is thankful and motivated to continue with the production of top performance products and the continuation of its dominance in the world of Electronic Table Games.
32 NOVEMBER 2018
his year’s G2E in Las Vegas was special for Alfastreet in many ways. Most importantly, the company presented a completely new
aming Partners International had a very successful showing at this year’s G2E. As a proud and leading global manufacturer
and supplier of table game products, GPI showcased its newest currency security feature offerings alongside the latest advancements in its playing card offerings and new and innovative SMART RFID solutions. GPI recognizes and understands that currency
security is one of the most important concerns facing gaming operators which is why we offer the industry’s largest portfolio of currency security features available. A commitment to continually provide customers with new and unique security options using the latest technological advances available, GPI introduced two new options, the Hollow Shot, available on BG V-Series moulded chips and Intricate Edge Inserts available on both BG Premium chips and Paulson traditional compression-moulded chips. The Hollow Shot is a one-of-a-kind currency
security feature that is integrated into the chip’s design, a specially-designed indentation in the chip’s outer ring that serves a dual purpose in the chip’s overall aesthetics and counterfeit deterrence. GPI’s Intricate Edge Inserts were developed using the latest manufacturing techniques, so customers can now include multiple, more complex designs into their chip edge inserts.
ne of the most pleasing things about Zytronic is that the company is entirely self-sufficient, as Robert Spencer,
Director of Sales for the Americas, told us – and that means innovation is never far away. He said: “We’re completely self-sufficient, glass comes in, touchscreens go out. We do everything in- house. We also build our own demos in house for tradeshows, so every year there is a new demo.” The demo at G2E was Hungry Hippos, which the company had done in an entirely new way. Robert elaborated: “What we have here at G2E is a Hungry Hippos demo, with four floating buttons. What we did was, we cut holes in the glass, and we ran the active touchscreen areas all the way up to and surrounding the buttons, so the entire screen is touch-enabled. You of course need to power this button somehow, and this is a great innovation, we figured out how to power it without showing a trace of the power line. You won’t see buttons in displays like this anywhere else. We have patent pending on that right now. Nobody has ever put a button inside an active area, it’s usually a touch deck or something similar. “We’ve actually moved it on the inside. You’re losing hardly any display area.”
Patir D
ennys Patir, CEO of Patir’s US arm, talked to Casino International about the company’s successful G2E. He said: “It
was the best G2E ever for us. We started to increase our focus on the US market two years
2E 2018 genuinely buzzed; the optimism that always marked this event had finally returned, and the floor was absolutely alive with energy.
Why the change? Probably the recent sportsbook ruling in the US, which meant the scope of the show was also a lot broader than it might normally be. Visitor numbers appeared to be up, and spread more evenly across the three days, and every exhibitor we met was very happy with the event. Here’s what we enjoyed – some in our
own words and original interviews, some from the companies themselves…
This new advanced feature allows for the inclusion of more complex edge insert designs that cannot be achieved through traditional injection moulding methods. As a result, customers can incorporate edge inserts with multiple colours, designs and security taggants.
